Documents the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, as portrayed by an American diplomat
Analyses Bristol's views on the internal affairs of modern Turkey
Provides alternative views on the inter-communal tensions in post-World War I Anatolia
Based on tens of thousands of primary documents from US and Turkish archives, private letters and memoirs
In the immediate aftermath of World War I, Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol was US High Commissioner in the Ottoman Empire and later the Turkish Republic (1919 27). In reporting and examining Bristol's official correspondence to the State Department, Hakan zo?lu paints an alternative picture of Turkey and the transition period from empire to nation state.
A key diplomat, Admiral Bristol's observations and recommendations helped to shape US foreign policy in the Ottoman Empire, out of which the modern Middle East emerged. His actions also laid the foundations of the strategic partnership between Turkey and the US, from the Cold War years through to the 21st century.
Hakan Özoğlu is Professor of History and Director of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Central Florida. He is the author of Kurdish Notables and the Ottoman State (SUNY Press, 2004) and From Caliphate to Secular State (ABC-Clio/Praeger Publishers, 2011), alongside 5 monographs published in several languages.
